- Spoken or typed.
- A photo of a plate, a recipe or a label.
- Scan a barcode and read its review: good choice, now and then, best avoided – with an alternative.

Frequently asked questions
Is AfterStart free?
Yes, during the launch phase. You create an account with your email address, with no payment card.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. AfterStart is a web app: open app.afterstart.ch in Safari or Chrome, then add it to your Home Screen (Safari: Share › Add to Home Screen; Chrome: menu › Add to Home screen). It isn’t in the App Store or Google Play yet. On a computer, it opens in the browser.
What about the Apple Watch?
Not for now, and not Apple Health either. A Fitbit, yes: steps, active minutes, sleep and resting heart rate come into the app.
Which languages?
English, French, German and Italian. The app follows your phone’s language; you can change it in Settings. “Tell me” answers in your language.

No. If you don’t give a quantity, the app counts a usual portion, which you can correct.
Where is my data, and how do I delete it?
With Infomaniak, in Switzerland. In Settings › Account you can export your data to a file or delete your account: everything is erased straight away.
Does AfterStart replace medical advice?
No. It’s a wellbeing app and makes no diagnosis. If you have a particular health situation, talk to your doctor.
What is the minimum age?
